Set the stage for your party with a neopolitan-striped ice cream and cake bar for your lil guests.

The key to having perfectly round ice cream scoops in lil one's bowls is easier than you think. The night prior to the party, scoop round ice cream balls onto a cookie sheet. Cover the sheet in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. By party time, the round scoops will hold their shape longer than if they were scooped during the soiree.

Select additional sweets based on popular ice cream flavors. Neapolitan ice cream — with strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate — is a longtime favorite of adults and kids alike. These homemade Neapolitan Ice Cream Macarons are reminiscent of the classic original.
